Bank Holiday Traffic Chaos Across UK Roads

The August bank holiday has led to severe traffic delays and road closures across various parts of the UK. The M5 is experiencing significant tailbacks of over 30 miles between Bristol and Taunton, causing travel times to increase by over an hour. In Somerset, the A361 has been shut due to a serious collision, while the A47 in Norfolk is closed after a multi-vehicle incident. The southbound M32 near Bristol is also closed following a serious crash, expected to remain shut for the entire day. Additionally, sections of the M25 between Epping and Romford are undergoing emergency resurfacing after two vehicle fires, leading to lane closures and extended delays.
